Chapter 172: Remuneration Issue

The warm autumn sun shone lazily through the crystal-like floor-to-ceiling windows on Zhang Huimei, who was wearing a violet cheongsam, as gentle as a lover's hands.

The lazy sunshine sheds a little bit of golden color, and the lazy fallen leaves gently floated past the window, swirled, and slowly disappeared into the distance, I don’t know where they drifted. Zhang Huimei unknowingly squinted her eyes, sitting and watching the blue satin-like sky where the white snow was rolling in the wind.

This situation, even the gusts of autumn wind coming through the window, are lazy, like that sunny day in September.

In this lazy season, I no longer hold a glass of red wine and sit in front of the window as if nothing has happened, quietly admiring the time slowly flowing through the sunlight that emits a strange halo through the red wine, passing through the fingers. Seam, gently disappearing at the other end of the hourglass.

There is nothing to figure out, it seems that only the thoughts extended by the slowly flowing piano music are frozen.

At this moment, Zhang Huimei enjoyed a moment of tranquility. Ever since she was crowned king in the First World War, she had not had time to calm down and think like this.

Countless announcements, countless cocktail parties, countless autograph signings, everything was fully arranged.

until? After thinking about this, she actually had countless resentments in her heart under such a situation. Can she be crowned king in one battle? This honor of being able to look down on the music world no longer belongs to her. With Ye Ming's appearance, album sales exceeded three million in less than two months.

Entertainment is a very forgetful place. With Ye Ming's dazzling achievements, there are still a few people who can remember Zhang Huimei's past glory.

This time, seeing how Ye Ming and the others ended up, Zhang Huimei raised the corners of her mouth proudly, as if admiring Ye Ming, that the ugliness of people like Ying and Princess would appear in newspapers and magazines.

However, at this time, Ah Hai hurriedly opened the door and walked into the presidential suite. Zhang Huimei looked at the scenery outside the window as if nothing had happened and said: "Quality, pay attention to your quality. I'll go. This is not a line in Ye Ming's movie." You know? Ah Hai, you are my agent, and you have to keep your face even when the mountain collapses, you know? What happened to make you so panicked?"

Ah Hai hesitated for a moment and then said: "I originally planned to go to the Workers' Stadium to talk about the concert today, but I didn't expect that there was news from the Workers' Stadium that there was no schedule. I inquired through the people in the company, It was Na Ying who said hello to the princess, and the people from the Worker Sports didn’t want to offend these two, so they gave up on signing a contract with us."

Hearing this, Zhang Huimei stood up suddenly, then snorted and sat down again and said: "What's the big deal? It's not like there is only one Gongti Wukesong in Beijing. I don't believe it. Without Gongti I Zhang Huimei’s concert has also started.”

At this time, Ah Hai continued: "This is easy to say. Also, your album has been removed from the shelves in several large audio and video stores such as Scholars. The reason given by the other party was temporary adjustment due to store decoration."

Zhang Huimei frowned and said: "Wang Jinghua, it must be Wang Jinghua who took action. She has a very good relationship with these bosses. That's okay. How dare you play with this right hand and temporarily remove her from the shelves? You think I don't know?" ? Tell those people that if I don’t see my album on the shelves this afternoon, then under such circumstances, I will find someone else for my next album, and don’t ask for sales of my albums in the future.”

Zhang Huimei has such confidence. The new generation of queen, loved by thousands of fans, naturally has her own temper.

At this moment, in Taipei, Keyuan, among the small bridges and flowing water, the stories under the time are slowly flowing. The stream flowing out of Keyuan seems to be carrying that kind of lingering story, which has dumped many crazy men and resentful women. The madness.

Under the grape trellis, Qiong Yao had been writing for a long time and was sitting in the yard to rest when He Xiuqiong came over with a document in his hand. At this time Qiong Yao took a look and said: "You have encountered a difficult place, I guess you will come over? How can you tell me?"

He Xiuqiong immediately said: "Huanzhugege's popularity is something no one expected. Therefore, these newcomers are now very popular. The TV station receives letters written to Zhao Wei and Lin Xinru every day. It’s packed in sacks. Therefore, if we shoot the second part, the salary will have to be increased, otherwise, I’m afraid some people will be dissatisfied.”

At this time, Qiong Yao said very decisively: "Just add a few hundred yuan as appropriate. Don't let him develop this habit. Don't forget that they are all contracted artists of our company. How can they succeed if they don't obey?" , Do you dare to be arrogant just now that you are somewhat famous?"

In fact, in the entertainment industry, Qiong Yao's stinginess is comparable to that of Stephen Chow, and she generally does not give high salaries to her own actors. At this time, He Xiuqiong had already thought of such a problem. In such a situation, she was not actually worried about such a thing.

He sat down and said, "It's easy to say that these actors, You Peng and Zhao Wei, are all artists from our Zhongjie Film and Television. However, it's hard to say about Ye Ming. Ye Ming's agent is in China. No, It's at Brilliant Film and Television. In other words, Ye Ming's contract is in his own hands.

At that time, we did not expect that "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" would be so popular. The company's main promotion was "There Are Tears in the Sky". Moreover, at that time, Huaxia also had the background of Mango TV, so we had no choice but to give the contract to Huaxia. . "

Qiong Yao frowned and said, "Who knew that [Huan Zhu Princess] would be so popular, and Ye Ming also became the owner of China Film and Television, and changed its name to Brilliant Film and Television, right?"

To be honest, Ye Ming's achievements really surprised even Qiong Yao. He won the record album title in one battle and the movie box office was sky-high. Now he is almost firmly on the front line. As long as there is another good movie, Or let’s talk about the album, Tietie’s first-line red star.

Moreover, it doesn't seem to be difficult for him. He was cast as the male lead in Zhang Yimou's "My Father, Your Mother".

He Xiuqiong nodded and said: "Yes, before [Crazy Stone], Ye Ming's quotation was 7,000 per episode, but now it is estimated that 10,000 is not enough. The one who can be higher than him in mainland China is Chen Baoguo, Si Qin Gaowa and the rest of the Best Actors and Best Actors. If we give too much, I'm afraid other actors will have objections, which will cause discord among the crew, which will be bad. And if we give less, it will be obvious It’s unjustifiable. It’s impossible for us to give him the share of [Huanzhugege].”

It's not that Ye Ming has never starred in TV series at low prices. "Never Rest" is a no-pay, share-sharing model. The popularity of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is unexpected, so you give Ye Ming a share. Basically impossible.

Qiong Yao thought for a while and said: "When he came to Baodao some time ago, he came to my place. When I talked about the second part, he also agreed immediately. It was said that he didn't mention the issue of remuneration at that time. Forget it, I'll give it to you. Let him make a phone call."

At this time, Qiong Yao's decisiveness and ability were shown. She immediately dialed Ye Ming's phone number. She first exchanged a few words with Ye Ming, congratulated Ye Ming on the box office success of his movie, and then asked. Regarding the issue of the second part of My Fair Princess, in the end, I intentionally or unintentionally explored the issue of remuneration.

At this time, Qiong Yao frowned. After hanging up the phone, Qiong Yao said: "Ye Ming is worthy of his current grades. I thought he had good grades, but he was still a newcomer, but I didn't expect this guy to be very cunning. , speaks impeccably, like an old artist who has been in business for more than ten years.

In this case, then you go to the capital in person and talk to him about this matter in person. When I tried to explore this matter just now, I heard that Ye Ming's tone was not very tight. When the time comes, there is still room for negotiation. Give it to him. The remuneration, not much else to say, is 7,000, which is the highest price. If it doesn’t work, just replace it. "

Substituting people is the thing that He Xiuqiong cannot tolerate the most, because as a producer, she actually knows very well that in such a situation, if the second part of "Huanzhugege" is to be filmed, it is best to use Even if the cast of the first part is changed, in a situation like this, a few supporting characters, such as small tables, stools, Mingyue Caixia, etc. can be changed, but for example, Erkan Yeming, one of the four leading actors, If there is a sudden substitution, it will be difficult to explain to the audience.

Therefore, at this time, He Xiuqiong thought for a while before saying: "Okay, I'll go over and take a look first, but I think he should be giving us face, and seven thousand yuan is not too low for a sincere price."

Of course, such a price is not a low price among Qiong Yao dramas. This is because Ye Ming is so popular now and he controls his own contract. However, time waits for no one at this time. When filming the second part of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", time waits for no one.

At this time, it was even said that He Xiuqiong had already issued an ultimatum to Su Youpeng and Zhao Wei who were filming "Cousin Lucky" in Shanghai, asking them to end the filming of "Cousin Lucky" as soon as possible and rush to the capital as soon as possible. Go to the assembly.

These are all artists from his own company, so it would be relatively easy for He Xiuqiong to handle it. This [cousin Jixiang] was actually arranged by Zhongjie Company, so there was no other way but to urge them to hurry up.

Speaking of Ye Ming's side, He Xiuqiong was still thinking about how to discuss the salary issue with Ye Ming when he got on the plane.

The subtropical monsoon in Baodao blows gently, bringing with it the warm and humid air currents from the South Pacific. It is moist and moist. After one autumn rain and one cold, after ten bleak autumn rains, you can go to Taipei. Come to see the rainy season, it seems that the dream-like past, inadvertently awakening the luggage of the dream. (To be continued)
